That ' s right.
Okay, I think we've already
covered our HF Checks , which were part of the
regular flight plan.
Yes , we did that .
I said they were between 16 58 30 GMT and
19 07 00 GMT .
Right .
We scrubbed the Apollo Landmark Investigation at
28:40 and again at 29:10 .
We were allowed to do
the D-9 at about 29:30 in irifting flight o~ly.
Doing the D-9 in drifting flight means that you
look outside w:ith the sextant and you pick out
whatever two s~aTs are there and you measure an
angle betw8en them. It was a qU1:1.litative rather
than a quantitative type investigation for the
experiment.
I ' m telling you , with D- 9 it was
mostly qualitative throughout the whole missi on.
We did a few quantitative things , but the number
of quantitative things that w~ ·quld do were very
limited .
The HF Test took us one and a half orbits .
Yes .
It took t wo hours and 15 minutes at least .
I t hink around 28 : 30 , we had a call up for D-9 .
